Amendment #3 passed 53 Yes to 13 No votes.

Based on the passage of Amendment #3, the top five vote-getters will hold a meeting to determine the Executive Board positions and then appoint the Course Representatives. Those interested in being considered for a Course Representative position should contact Jeff Nichols at jeffnichols@cox.net. The tie for 5th place between Dan Lichtman and Ryan Meyer means that both candidates will be allowed to attend the board selection meeting. Top vote-getter Jeff Nichols is currently working on setting up that meeting.
